Weddings at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center
If you’re looking for a grand wedding venue in the heart of downtown Rochester, New York, then the Rochester Riverside Convention Center has everything you need. The convention center is uniquely well-suited for larger-size weddings: it can accommodate up to 600 wedding guests!
But first, let’s address something important: this is not the cavernous trade show hall with exposed steel beams and such. The adjoining ballrooms can be customized in size for your specific needs, and everyone will feel comfortable in a room that’s perfectly sized for your guest list.
The Heart of Downtown Rochester
You’ll never have to worry about your guests running out of ways to pass the time. It’s located in the heart of Downtown Rochester, right by the Genesee River, and you and your guests can step outside on the convenient private patio to enjoy the sun setting over the river.
The venue is connected to hotels, parking garages, and other city amenities through covered walkways. Getting around the city and getting to and from the venue couldn’t be any more convenient for guests.
Hosting Your Wedding
The convention center requires a 100 person minimum, except on Saturdays in the Grand Lilac Ballroom, when a 300 guest minimum is required.
The convention center offers dining packages from $66 to $91 dollars per person. Reservations can be made with an initial $1,500 deposit.
If you’re planning a larger-sized wedding in Rochester, NY, don’t hesitate to consider the convention center. The staff are attentive and helpful, the facility is elegant, and it’s the most capable venue in Rochester for hosting large (300+ person) celebrations.
